CNC-Interface-Proxy 2.1

CNC-Interface-Proxy is a lightweight middleware service that sits between CNC controllers and client applications. It centralizes machine connections, relays commands and telemetry, and exposes a consistent, well-structured API so dashboards, HMIs, and automation tools can interact with diverse CNC equipment without bespoke drivers.

Key capabilities:

• Connection brokering: Bridge serial or TCP-based controllers to modern clients via HTTP and WebSocket.
• Protocol adaptation: Pass through machine-native messages or map them to a normalized schema for easier integration.
• API gateway: Provide a stable REST/streaming interface for status, job control, and real-time events.
• Security: Support token-based access, IP allowlists, and TLS for encrypted communication.
• Resilience: Handle reconnection, buffering, rate limiting, and backpressure to keep jobs stable under flaky networks.
• Observability: Emit structured logs, metrics, and audit trails to simplify troubleshooting and compliance.
• Extensibility: Add custom parsers, filters, or business logic through modular hooks and configuration.
• Flexible deployment: Run on an edge PC, a small single-board computer, a VM, or in a container.

Typical use cases:

• Build multi-machine dashboards and alerts without tying tools to a single controller vendor.
• Add remote monitoring and supervised control with appropriate safety interlocks.
• Integrate legacy equipment into modern MES/IIoT pipelines.
• Prototype and test interfaces using mock machines before touching production hardware.

By decoupling CNC hardware from user interfaces, CNC-Interface-Proxy helps you modernize workflows, improve reliability, and accelerate integrations—without disrupting existing setups.
